Rethinking Safety in Modern Kitchen Design 📐
For multi-generational and accessible homes, the kitchen remains the most high-risk area. Our collaborative range, Freedom by Symphony, addresses this head-on with innovative details like the integrated heat-proof pull-out shelf.
As industry pioneer Adam Thomas explains in this short clip, placing a heat-resistant resting spot directly beneath the oven housing drastically reduces the transit distance of hot, heavy items. It’s a simple, elegant solution that transforms a high-risk task into a safe, independent everyday activity.
Freedom Heat-Proof Pull-Out Shelf
The Freedom range, designed in collaboration with the UK’s leading accessible kitchen designer, Adam Thomas, prioritizes safe, independent, and multi-generational living.
The Design Integration: The heat-proof shelf is built directly into the oven housing, positioned immediately below the appliance.
The Function: It serves as an instant, sturdy, and heat-resistant resting spot for hot trays, pans, and dishes the moment they are pulled out of the oven.
Safety Benefits: It drastically reduces the distance a user needs to transport heavy, hot items. This minimizes the risk of burns, drops, or spills—which is particularly vital for wheelchair users, individuals with limited mobility, or anyone with reduced grip strength.
The Perfect Pairing: It is designed to pair perfectly with NEFF Slide & Hide® ovens, ensuring completely unobstructed access to the oven cavity before sliding the hot dish directly onto the shelf.
